DMCC Metro Station (R37): JLT & Tram Guide 2026 Metro Station

DMCC Metro Station (R37) is a Red Line station serving Jumeirah Lakes Towers, the southern side of Dubai Marina and the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre district. It connects by pedestrian bridge to Jumeirah Lakes Towers Tram Station (T03), useful for JBR and Marina destinations.

Metro operating hours

Dubai Metro network hours are generally:

• Monday–Thursday: 5:00am–12:00am
• Friday: 5:00am–1:00am the next day
• Saturday: 5:00am–12:00am
• Sunday: 8:00am–12:00am

The exact first and last train at R37 depends on direction and service pattern. Check the official RTA timetable or S'hail before an early or late journey.

Which direction should you take?

• Towards Centrepoint for Sobha Realty, Dubai Internet City, Mall of the Emirates, Downtown Dubai, BurJuman, Union and Dubai International Airport.
• Towards Expo 2020 or Life Pharmacy for National Paints, Ibn Battuta and Jebel Ali-area stations.
• Check the platform display because Red Line trains can have different southern branches.

The official RTA rail map confirms DMCC as R37.

Exits: JLT or Dubai Marina

DMCC station straddles Sheikh Zayed Road:

• Use the JLT side for clusters around Lakes Almas West and East, Almas Tower and the DMCC free-zone district.
• Use the Dubai Marina side for the south Marina area and the connection towards JBR.
• Follow signs to the pedestrian bridge and tram rather than trying to cross Sheikh Zayed Road at street level.

JLT cluster letters are useful, but walking routes curve around lakes and towers. Save the exact building entrance before leaving the station.

Connecting to Dubai Tram

Follow station signs to Jumeirah Lakes Towers Tram Station (T03). The tram serves JBR, Dubai Marina Mall, Dubai Marina, Mina Seyahi, Media City, Palm Jumeirah and Al Sufouh.

Dubai Tram network hours differ from Metro hours. Validate the connection and nol balance before transferring. A Metro trip and a Tram trip may be treated as a transfer when completed within RTA's permitted time and rules.

Buses and taxis

Local station information has listed JLT2 among the JLT bus connections. Routes and stop positions can change, so search from “DMCC Metro Station” to the exact cluster in the RTA journey planner.

Taxis and ride-hailing vehicles need the correct side of Sheikh Zayed Road. Tell the driver whether you are on the JLT or Marina side and use a signed pickup point.
